#BoycottPSL for Gaza.

Boycott is neither a favor nor a generosity on your part. Rather, it has become a mandatory matter, and it is the weakest of faith and the least that can be offered to support our people in Gaza.#PTIPressConference #PSL2024#Rafahpic.twitter.com/lnWffOjaWT pic.twitter.com/d0x1ho8RGW

Boycott PSL is trending because Pakistan Super League’s management has joined hands with KFC & also the state’s national channel PTV Sports isn’t broadcasting so people of backyard areas will not be able to watch it. Authorities should look after the matter! #BoycottPSL #PSL2024 pic.twitter.com/SpW7RGDfxK
